# [Tails 5.0 is out](https://tails.boum.org/news/version_5.0/index.en.html)
We are especially proud to present you Tails 5.0, the first version of Tails based on Debian 11 (Bullseye). It brings new versions of a lot of the software included in Tails and new OpenPGP tools. # New features ## Kleopatra We added [_Kleopatra_](https://tails.boum.org/doc/encryption_and_privacy/kleopatra/index.en.html) to replace the _OpenPGP Applet_ and the _Password and Keys_ utility, also known as _Seahorse_. The _OpenPGP Applet_ was not actively developped anymore and was complicated for us to keep in Tails. The _Password and Keys_ utility was also poorly maintained and Tails users suffered from too many of its issues until now, like [#17183](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/17183). _Kleopatra_ provides equivalent features in a single tool and is more actively developed.  # Changes and updates * The Additional Software feature of the Persistent Storage is enabled by default to make it faster and more robust to configure your first additional software package. * You can now use the Activities overview to access your windows and applications. To access the Activities overview, you can either: * Click on the **Activities** button. * Throw your mouse pointer to the top-left hot corner. * Press the **Super** () key on your keyboard. You can see your windows and applications in the overview. You can also start typing to search your applications, files, and folders.  ## Included software Most included software has been upgraded in Debian 11, for example: * Update _Tor Browser_ to [11.0.11](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-11011). * Update _GNOME_ from 3.30 to 3.38, with lots of small improvements to the desktop, the core _GNOME_ utilities, and the locking screen. * Update _MAT_ from 0.8 to 0.12, which adds support to clean metadata from SVG, WAV, EPUB, PPM, and Microsoft Office files. * Update _Audacity_ from 2.2.2 to 2.4.2. * Update _Disk Utility_ from 3.30 to 3.38. * Update _GIMP_ from 2.10.8 to 2.10.22. * Update _Inkscape_ from 0.92 to 1.0. * Update _LibreOffice_ from 6.1 to 7.0. ## Hardware support * The new support for driverless printing and scanning in Linux makes it easier to make recent printers and scanners work in Tails. # Fixed problems * Fix unlocking _VeraCrypt_ volumes that have very long passphrases. ([#17474](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/17474)) For more details, read our [changelog](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/blob/master/debian/changelog). # Known issues * _Additional Software_ sometimes doesn't work when restarting for the first time right after creating a Persistent Storage. ([#18839](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/18839)) To solve this, install the same additional software package again after restarting with the Persistent Storage for the first time. * _Thunderbird_ displays a popup to choose an application when opening links. ([#18913](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/18913)) * _Tails Installer_ sometimes fails to clone. ([#18844](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/18844)) See the list of [long-standing issues](https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/index.en.html). # Get Tails 5.0 ## To upgrade your Tails USB stick and keep your persistent storage * Automatic upgrades are not available to 5.0.
